Why aint you rich? '

If I chose to be what you think I should be,
...

No relationship can survive,
The probing done by outside eyes.
Or those with listening ears,
To whisper through lips...

In ways they stay junkies,
To religious beliefs.
Bad diets they don't need.
And sights on heights,

By such heartbreak today? '

Good suggestions with limited advice to give.
Assisting another to remove obstacles they have to face,
May not benefit.

What is it that you really wish?

'Something that doesn't fit too tight.

And...
That budding will give you the fits,
